Here's a decent website that lists things to do and see.
Can't be specific since you didn't offer your interests or if you will have a car or depend on public transportation.

http://www.sacramento.worldweb.com/

Also, check out the local daily newspaper online; the Sacramento Bee at:

www.sacbee.com

The Friday and Sunday editions have lots of info on current happenings.

The Bee tabloid sections (Friday - Ticket, Sunday - Encore) list just about every mainstream thing going on. Alternative events are listed lots of places - one being the News & Review weekly.

The main "sights" depending on your interests are: Old Sacramento - gold rush era bldgs along the River with a lot of restaurants, etc; Crocker Art Gallery - the oldest Art Gallery west of the Mississippi; the state Capitol and surrounding park; California State museum - a new museum on O street which is very interesting; LOTS of great dining - especially in a 20 square block area called mid-town; Sutter's Fort; River taxi trips up river to restaurants and marinas; The Sacramento Kings and Chris Webber and Peja Stojakovic (GO KINGS!!!)

Grab a bus and 20 minutes away you can visit Davis. Great college town with place to eat and shops and art galleries to wander in.

Ok there are some good recommendations but how about the IMAX on the K Street Mall? Five days is a long time to be in Sacto. When are you coming? Other recommendations might depend on the time of year. Is it soon?

I don't recommend going to Sutter's Fort. I have been recently because I have a child who was recently a 4th grader and I wouldn't recommend the place for a 20 something.
